Towing Bracket · Deck Fittings & Hardware
A class‑approved towing bracket installed on the deck to provide an emergency tow point for tankers, featuring a load‑rated pin and cover plate in accordance with SOLAS requirements. As a Towing Bracket, it is normally installed on exposed deck, shell openings, mooring stations or cargo-access areas according to the vessel structural arrangement. In that role, its primary purpose is to guide, secure, close, drain, ventilate or provide access as identified by the listed fitting type. Bollards, fairleads, chocks, doors, hatches, pipes and covers perform different structural functions, so their load path, sealing and securing details must follow the vessel drawings. Capacity: SWL per class requirement. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
